Switching from a baby bottle to a sippy cup isn’t just about a new accessory—it’s an important developmental milestone. MOYUUM, trusted for its safe PPSU baby bottles and ergonomic sippy cups, gives parents flexible feeding tools suited to different growth stages.
But when should you switch from bottle to sippy cup? And how do MOYUUM’s designs support that transition? This guide explains the key differences between MOYUUM sippy cups and baby bottles, so you can choose what fits your child’s needs best.
Understanding MOYUUM Baby Bottles: Features and Age Use
MOYUUM bottles are crafted from PPSU, a heat-resistant, BPA-free plastic that can withstand repeated sterilization without degrading. Designed for infants from birth up to 12 months, these bottles feature a soft silicone nipple that mimics the shape and feel of a mother’s breast, reducing nipple confusion for breastfed babies.
The anti-colic valve ensures smooth milk flow, minimizing air intake and digestive discomfort. MOYUUM bottles come in 170ml and 270ml sizes to accommodate your baby’s growing appetite, and their ergonomic design allows for a natural, comfortable grip by both parents and babies during feeding.
What Makes MOYUUM’s Sippy Cups Different?
As your baby begins to explore solid foods and independent drinking, MOYUUM sippy cups provide the ideal next step. These sippy cups are designed for babies 6 months and older and help support the transition from sucking to sipping.
They feature a soft silicone spout or straw that is gentle on sensitive gums while encouraging oral development. MOYUUM’s sippy cups also include a built-in spill-proof system, making them a mess-free choice for active babies.
Like the bottles, MOYUUM sippy cups are made of durable PPSU material, which resists heat, discoloration, and chemical leaching, ensuring long-term use and safety.
MOYUUM Sippy Cup vs Bottle
The MOYUUM Bottle is ideal for infants aged 0 to 12 months, using an anti-colic nipple that mimics breastfeeding. It's best for formula or breast milk feeding and features an ergonomic design for assisted use, though it's not spill-proof.
The MOYUUM Sippy Cup suits babies 6 months and older, with a soft spout or straw for sipping. It's perfect for water, juice, and self-feeding training, featuring handles or a cup-shaped grip for easy holding and is spill-proof. Both are made from PPSU, BPA-free, and sterilizable materials, supporting different stages of feeding and independence.
When Should You Switch from MOYUUM Bottle to Sippy Cup?
The ideal time to transition from bottle to sippy cup varies by child, but most pediatricians suggest starting between six and nine months of age. You may notice signs like your baby sitting without support, chewing on the bottle nipple, or reaching for cups during mealtime. These are indicators of developmental readiness.
MOYUUM’s design continuity between bottles and sippy cups helps make this switch smoother. Parents can begin by offering a MOYUUM sippy cup with water during meals while continuing bottle use for formula or breast milk, gradually phasing bottles out over time.
Parent Tips: Making the Transition Smooth
To ease the transition, parents can start by introducing the MOYUUM sippy cup during non-feeding times, letting the baby explore and hold it independently. Familiarity with MOYUUM’s bottle grip and material often makes it easier for babies to accept the new cup.
Keep bottle feedings for comfort while using the sippy cup for water or juice during solid food meals. This gradual shift supports both confidence and development, reducing stress for both baby and parent.
Conclusion
Whether you choose the MOYUUM sippy cup or bottle depends entirely on your baby’s age, feeding habits, and developmental readiness. MOYUUM supports every stage of your baby’s growth with thoughtful design and safe materials. Stick with the baby bottle if your child is under six months or still primarily milk-fed.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I switch my baby from a MOYUUM bottle to a sippy cup?
Most babies are ready to transition from bottle to sippy cup between 6 to 9 months of age. If your child can sit upright, grab objects independently, or starts chewing the bottle nipple, it's a good time to introduce the MOYUUM sippy cup for water or juice during meals.
Are MOYUUM sippy cups suitable for breastfed babies?
Yes, MOYUUM sippy cups are designed with soft silicone spouts and straw options that feel natural to breastfed babies. They allow an easy transition from breast or bottle to cup while supporting oral development and independent sipping.
Is the MOYUUM bottle better than the sippy cup for younger babies?
MOYUUM bottles are ideal for newborns and infants under 6 months who are primarily breastfed or formula-fed. The anti-colic nipple and PPSU bottle design support feeding comfort and safety during the early months before self-feeding begins.
Can MOYUUM bottle parts be used with sippy cup tops?
Many MOYUUM components are interchangeable. The PPSU body of the bottle can often be paired with MOYUUM’s sippy cup spouts or straw lids, making the transition easier and more cost-effective for parents.
